Dear brothers and sisters,

By the grace and guidance of the Lord, we had many opportunities this month

to share the Gospel with brothers, sisters, and new people in Samsun. Through

conversations in different settings, it was a great encouragement for us to see

people showing interest in God's Word, asking sincere questions, and desiring

to know the love of Christ more deeply. In each encounter, we were reminded

that the Lord is at work in people's hearts, strengthening our hope that the seeds

being sown will bear fruit in His perfect timing. Our prayer is that the Gospel

proclaimed will bring salvation, hope, and new beginnings into the lives of

many.

This month, I also had the opportunity to visit the Tokat Church. Spending time

with the brothers and sisters there and sharing our common faith in Christ was a

great blessing to me. During our fellowship, we prayed together, shared from

Scripture, spoke about what the Lord has been doing in our lives, and

encouraged one another in our walk of faith. Although we serve in different

cities, it was a joyful reminder that we belong to the same body and serve the

same Lord. Please pray that the Lord will continue to strengthen our brothers

and sisters in Tokat, establish them firmly in their faith, and enable them to bear

much fruit in their ministry.

In Samsun, we continue to witness the beautiful fruits of the Lord's work. This

month, several brothers and sisters publicly declared their faith in the Lord

Jesus Christ through baptism. The baptism services were a time of great joy,

thanksgiving, and celebration for all of us. Witnessing these believers leave

behind their old lives and step into a new life in Christ reminded us once again

that God's saving work is still powerfully active today. Seeing especially

younger believers commit themselves to following the Lord fills us with hope

for the future and motivates us to serve with even greater faithfulness. We pray

that those who were baptized will become deeply rooted in the Lord's love,

mature under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and be faithful witnesses

reflecting the light of Christ in their families, schools, workplaces, and wherever

the Lord leads them.

"Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and

glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)

Thank you to all of you, dear brothers and sisters, who faithfully pray for us,

support us, and carry this ministry in your hearts. May the Lord richly bless and

strengthen you, and may the love, grace, and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ

always be with you.

This month, we had the joy of witnessing several brothers and sisters in Samsun

publicly declare their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ through baptism. Their decision to

acknowledge Christ as the Savior and Lord of their lives and take this important step

was a great source of thanksgiving and joy for our entire church family. We pray that

the Lord will strengthen them in their faith, mature them through the Holy Spirit, and

use their lives to be a blessing and a testimony to many others.

This month, I had the opportunity to visit the Tokat Church. It was a blessing to spend

time in fellowship with the brothers and sisters there, pray together, and share from

God's Word. Seeing how the Lord unites believers from different cities as members of

the same body was a great joy and encouragement to us.

1. Let us pray that the hearts of those who hear the Gospel in Samsun will be opened by

the Lord, that the seeds sown will take root, and that many will come to faith in

Christ.

2. Let us pray that the baptized brothers and sisters will be strengthened in their faith,

grow under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and become faithful witnesses of Christ in

their lives.

3. Let us pray that the brothers and sisters in the Tokat Church will grow in unity, love,

and fellowship, and that the Lord will strengthen them in their ministry.

4. Let us pray that the church ministry in Samsun will be blessed, that new people will

be reached, and that the Lord will raise up more workers.

5. Let us pray that the Lord will give us new opportunities to boldly share the Gospel,

grant us wisdom, and that we will clearly see the leading of the Holy Spirit in our

ministry.

We sincerely thank you for your valuable prayers and support. May the Lord

richly bless and strengthen each one of you and continue to use you in your

ministries. May the love, grace, and peace of Christ Jesus be with you all. Amen.
